Televised Poker
I was bored today while taking the day off to relax and prepare for my last final tomorrow, and decided to watch some Poker After Dark.
After about 10 minutes, I'm annoyed as hell at all the retarded comments the commentators make, so I switch it up and watch Aussie Millions.
Again, same issue.
I really think they need to make a poker show, that just has all the interesting players, and no announcers.
Just have like, Daniel Negreanu, Antonio Esfandiari, Phil Laak, Gus Hansen, Luke Schwartz, and the guys that are more talkative play and interesting to watch, and let us enjoy the table talk. So much more interesting than listening to random announcer question plays of people 1000% more skilled than they are.

Especially Norman Chad, that guy is annoying as hell.
i agree. john duthy is the pro you're referring to i'm assuming. he seems like a smart guy and i like him. other guy (can't remember his name) is crazy and makes me laugh.
Honourable mention: Vince van Patten
He knows what he's talking about for the most part, but I just really dislike his voice.
I kind of like the guys from P*.net big game. Entertaining web jargon, etc.
Also didn't mind Esfandiari during the WSOP final table this year. He wasn't terrible and had a lot of good insights.
BTW did I ever tell you about my Uncle Euripedes?
What does your Uncle Euripedes do?
Kotter's wife was hot. I had a serious crush on her back in the day.
He brought his pants into his tailor and his tailor says, "Euripedes!"
And my uncle says, "Yeah, you menda dees?"
hee hee
Pokerstars "The Big Game" is super annoying due to the hosts, which is sad because the format is somewhat interesting. They try to get overtechnical analyzing every move every person makes and literally NEVER shut up...and their lame attempts at being funny are...well....just lame (they'll make fun of someone for wearing a purple shirt and somehow mix it in to almost every hand analysis they do for that person for the week). Even Poker After Dark can be ok imo, the host doesn't over do it with too much analysis, and you do hear most of what the players are saying. Never had a problem with Mike Sexton either. Used to love watching WPT 2 hour sessions....
